Bowhunting Soul

There are a lot of guys who have hunting channels on YouTube (me included), but very few actually walk the walk as successfully as Bill Langer (I wish!) His channel, "Traditional Adventures TV", proves Bill is one heck of a hunter. In fact, he was one of the first people in the traditional hunting space to video his hunting adventures and sell them as DVD's. Bill is a deer hunting Connecticut native, but he's hunted all over, including elk out  west, hogs in florida and a bunch of game in Africa. He's a damn good guy to boot. Hope you enjoy the episode!

So I was perusing YouTube and stopped on a video of a hog hunt with a traditional bow. Of course it got my attention. A few messages later and I was talking with Josh Teulker of Indiana. Josh is a die-hard hunter and creates content for his own YouTube channel "Before the Echo" as well as contributing to "The Hunting Beast". Good company indeed! We get into Josh's hunting history, dive into trad bows and get into detail about a pretty exciting hog hunt on public land. Thanks for the listen!

This week I talk with Trevor and Hunter Brunk of Brunk Outdoors. These guys are pretty awesome! Living in Iowa, they hunt whitetails on a mix of public and private land, as well as taking out of state trips out West. They're really about as humble, honest and dedicated a couple of guys as you're likely to find. They have a very successful YouTube channel (Brunk Outdoors) and their own podcast (The Modern Hunter). We had a fantastic talk about their hunting history, family, traditions, success stories and a bunch of other stuff. Truly an easy conversation with these guys, and I was lucky enough to have them both on, which is a first for this podcast! Really impressed with them both as hunters and as people. Be sure to check them out!

This week I'm joined by Blayne Prowse of Stumpstalker Archery. Blayne lives in a pacific northwest rain forest paradise, builds custom wood arrows and posts pictures and videos of him stump shooting in some gorgeous terrain. We had a great talk about his hunting and archery history. We dive into how he got into building custom wood arrows. And I ask a ton of questions regarding wood arrows in general because it's just a rabbit hole I've never dived down before. Blayne is really passionate about his work and a wealth of information on the subject. Check him out on Instagram and YouTube under Stumpstalker Archery. Also check out his website www.stumpstalkerarchery.ca

America needs heroes! In this episode, I talk with Drew Kohlhofer of Selway Archery. Drew is about as red-blooded a hard-working American as it gets. Together we try to sort out the problems plaguing the country today. Politics, divisiveness, censorship and a bunch of other stuff that got us riled up! Oh, we also talk about quivers and why Selway quivers are so good. I have two and absolutely love them. If you don't want to hear us rant about the goings-on in the country, you can skip past the 45-ish minute mark where we actually start talking about quivers. If you want to join the vent session, hit Play and dive right in.

Today I talk to Tarrel from Gunshy Archery and Tradlive TV. I've been following his stuff for a couple years now and I'm glad I got a chance to finally talk to him. With a successful YouTube channel, a quiver business, and busy Instagram feed, there's never a lack of awesome content to talk about and enjoy. He and his son Beau have some great hunting adventures so be sure to check them out for yourself! Thanks for listening and be sure to like, share and subscribe!

I'm pretty damned sick of hearing, "Well... that's 2020!" Sure, it wasn't the best year but it sure sounds like a lot of self-victimization and excuses. If you think 2021 will immediately be better, then you'd better start getting your excuses and memes ready for this year as well. Last year should have been a year of learning and reflecting, with the end goal of trying to make yourself and those around you better. Challenge accepted!

Every watch a youtube channel for years and years, then realize, "hey, I really should talk to this guy?"  Well, that was the case with me and Jonathan Heffron, who's had the long-running YouTube channel "Wingman 115". Jonathan is a traditional archer, outdoors enthusiast and explorer. We had a great conversation about, well, just about everything. We dig into his early childhood, his Navy service, life after the Navy, starting a YouTube channel, hunting, old bows and  host of other things that led us down many rabbit holes. He's a really sincere and interesting guy so I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I did. Thanks Jonathan for coming on!

Part of the fun of this traditional archery journey is getting to try out different bows. Longbows, recurves, short bows, longer length bows, reflex/deflex, straight grip, locator grip, mass weight, draw weight... phew! There's a lot to unpack there! In this episode I discuss the bows I've had the pleasure to shoot over the past few years and some of the attributes associated with them. Just my rambling thoughts on what I've found works for me and what doesn't; all in the quest for "THE" ultimate bow!

Thanks for listening!

What a season Dusty Roberts has had! Dusty, an accomplished compound hunter, decided to pick up a stickbow in January of this year. Boy, did he get up to speed quick! He's killed several amazing deer already this season with no slowing down in sight. Dusty is a working class guy, driving a truck for a living. He  spends what free time he has chasing deer and shooting his Bob Lee bow. His story is definitely not common. Most people who switch to traditional archery do not have this much success this quickly. This is a testament to not only his ability to shoot any bow (compound or trad), but to his prowess as a hunter. I hope you enjoy this episode!
